Detective Morgan Brookes is back in another delightfully gripping story. That sees Morgan and the team investigate the horrific murder of student Melody Carrick.

Whose mum Jade owns the local coffee shop. Which is a firm favourite with the team, especially Morgan. And leaves her desperate to get answers for Jade and find her daughter's killer.

So when a young girl enters the station hours later and claims to know the killer, Morgan jumps at the opportunity to investigate. However, Ben is not convinced that Paige is telling the truth.

And as Morgan races to catch up with Paige and interview her mother, she nearly runs over another young girl. One who is clearly terrified and claims to have been abducted and later dumped by a man driving a vehicle similar to that of Morgan's witness.

Which makes Morgan's search for the man Paige claims is the killer even more intense. 

But is Paige really telling the truth? Or is the team looking in the wrong direction?

And with plenty of twists and turns, and a killer I did not see coming. This was another fantastic addition to the series, and I'm excited to read book fourteen next.

My thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for the opportunity to read Two Broken Girls.
